"LABOR GROUP PLANS CONTINUED PROTEST TO CITY AND OTTAWA," Toronto Globe. August 4, 1933. Page 9. --- Labor Representative's Inclusion on Relief Commission Urged -- RAIL WORKERS BACKED --- At last night's meeting of the Toronto District Trades and Labor Council in the Labor Temple, the delegates decided unanimously "to continue to protest" alike to Mayor Stewart and the City Council "at the non-inclusion of a representative of organized labor on the Civic Commission inquiring into relief and welfare work in Toronto," and also to the Federal Minister of Railways and Labor in Ottawa "in regard to railway workers being asked to bear an undue proportion of the load arising out of the shrinking transportation revenues on Canadian railways." Described as "Deadwood." In the latter connecton, Delegate A. Evans, Ontario Lodge, 619, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America, drew attention to the fact that "during the depression years there have been over 23, railway workers put out of service, and the wages of those retained reduced by 1 per cent., many of whom are working part-time. A recent newspaper cartoon dealing with that situation intimated that the systems were getting rid of that much 'dead-wood." Apparently the welfare of those workers takes second place to that of the bond holders and the preferred shares. These economies may or may not have been effective, but certainly they have reduced the purchasing power of the people."

Vice-President Dan Noble supplemented that statement and declared: "The position of rail shopmen today is something like that of certain firms in Toronto, to whom Mayor Stewart referred recently, when he pointed cut that the wage-levels were deplorable that, if not raised, the Control Board might have to name them, in the light of the fact that the Welfare Department felt compelled to permit certain employees to continue to draw relief supplies, in addition to their wages. "If care is not taken," concluded delegate Noble, "the railway mechanics will be in a similar plight."

Musical Group to March. John Sutherland, of the Demon--- on the forthcoming annual Labor Day Parade, intimating that a fifty-piece band of the Musical Protective Association will march this year. In same connection, delegate Charles Bal stated: "It should be distinctly understood that this annual parade is conducted by the international trade unions of this city; that the marchers are headed by the Mayor and the civic authorities: and that we will tolerate no contact of any kind what-ever with Communist or near-Communist groups that are not native to nor will they thrive on Canadian soil."

Applause greeted this latter assertion.

Three delegates to the forthcoming Labor Congress of Canada (Windsor) are to represent the Trades Council.

The pre-delegate expenses must not exceed an aggregate of $100, and the representatives will be chosen next meeting from the following nominees: W. Genovese, J. W. Buckley,J. Noble, D. W. Kennedy, C. Locks,C. Ball. W. Dunn, J. Jenkinson, and E. E. Woollen.

CSX announces agreement on paid sick leave with BMWED and BRC

A major source of contention between United States Class I railroads and 12 railroad labor unions leading up to the brokered deal between the parties, in order to avert a strike, in early December, focused on the number of sick days railroad workers were allowed to have. Signs of progress on that front were made clear this week, with Jacksonville-based Class I freight railroad carrier CSX saying it has come to terms on agreements for two unions—the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way (BMWED), which represents engineering employees, and the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen (BRC), which represents mechanical workers—with both unions representing around a cumulative 5,000 railroad workers.

Glen Ford α:1 Mayo de 1916 Ω:30 de agosto de 2006

Glenn Ford (nacido Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford; Ciudad de Quebec, Canadá; 1 de mayo de 1916-Beverly Hills, California; 30 de agosto de 2006) fue un actor canadiense-estadounidense. Fue ganador del premio Globo de Oro al mejor actor-Comedia o musical por Un gángster para un milagro (1961). Recordado por su actuación en la película Gilda (1946) junto a Rita Hayworth y en otros clásicos del cine estadounidense. Su carrera duró más de 50 años. Tenía habilidades para interpretar diversos papeles y fue conocido por sus papeles como hombres ordinarios en circunstancias inusuales. Fue uno de los actores más prominentes durante la Edad de Oro de Hollywood. Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford nació el 1 de mayo de 1916 en Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, Quebec, Canadá.Hijo de Hannah Wood (de soltera Mitchell) y Newton Ford, un ingeniero del Canadian Pacific Railway. Por parte de su padre, fue sobrino nieto del Primer Ministro de Canadá Sir John A. Macdonald y también tenía parentesco con el presidente estadounidense Martin Van Buren. En 1922, cuando tenía seis años, la familia se mudó a Venice y luego a Santa Mónica, California. Su padre sería maquinista para la Venice Electric Tram Company, trabajo que conservó hasta su muerte a los 50 años en 1940. Después de su graduación en la Santa Monica High School, Ford empezó a trabajar en grupos pequeños de teatro. Cuando estaba en secundaria, tuvo trabajos ocasionales, incluyendo un trabajo para Will Rogers, quien le enseñó equitación. Comentaría más tarde que su padre no ponía objeción por su interés en esta actividad durante su crecimiento, pero solía decir: «Esto está bien para ti que intentes actuar si aprendes algo más primero. Ser capaz de desmontar un automóvil y montarlo. Ser capaz de construir una casa, cada parte de ella. Entonces siempre tendrás algo». Ford siguió el consejo y durante la década de 1950, cuando era uno de los actores más populares de Hollywood, trabajó regularmente en fontanería, instalación eléctrica e instalación de aire acondicionado en hogares. Glenn Ford se convirtió en ciudadano naturalizado de los Estados Unidos el 10 de noviembre de 1939.

“WINNIPEG STRIKERS AND CONSTABLES IN SERIOUS CLASH,” The Quebec Chronicle. June 11, 1919. Page 01. --- CROWD THREW MISSILES AND POLICE RETALIATE BY THE FREE USE OF BATONS. --- Winnipeg, June 10—Serious clashes resulted from demonstrations dy the strike sympathizers ‘against returned soldier-constables this evening. A large crowd gathered between the City Hall and Portage Avenue and Main street, where the strikers and sympathizers disarmed and assaulted individual special police. A squad of special police and mounted police then paraded the affected area.

Missiles were thrown by the crowd, the police retaliating by the free use l of their Batons on the heads of demonstrants. 

There was no outward disposition on the part of the union leaders to call off the sympathetic walkout however.

The strike executives this afternoon gave out a report that a number of Canadian Trades Councils “were preparing to come te the assistance of the Winnipeg strikers.” Street railway officials informed the city that they would take action today on the request made by the City Council last night that street car service be resumed immediately. 

Collapse of the sympathetic strike does not mean the end of the Winnipeg strike problem, however, the dispute between the metal trades council, the largest union body in Winnipeg. and the industrial employers is considered à e issue. The Government postal service is close to normal. Striking employees whose places were filled have asked the government to reinstate them. 

The Provincial telephone service is being maintained on a nearly normal basis by volunteers and a few volunteer employees. It was stated at the Board of Trade that from 2000 to 3000 workers of various crafts bad gone back to their jobe or were conferring with their employers. Several hundred union men are on duty in the three railroad shops, according to an announcement by a railroad official. A few of the policemen dismissed yesterday signed the pledge not to participate in sympathetic strikes. 

A number of returned soldier-constables and demonstrants were beaten severely before the special police restored order.

Mayor Charles F. Gray announced that he believed the constabulary could control the situation and that troops would not be called.

City officials today roughly estimated that forty per cent of those who joined the sympathetic strike May 18th, had returned to work today. All commercial and broker office telegraphers were back at their keys this afternoon. Press operators were negotiating with their employers.

H. E. Barker, chairman of the Railway Brotherhood mediation board, announced that settlement proposals modified to meet objections of employers, especially in connection with jurisdiction of the international organisation had been presented to the employees and are being considered. The Winnipeg Street Railway system is expected to operate Thursday for the first time in more than three weeks. At the City Hall, it was said that if striking carmen disregard notice sent to them, the cars will be manned by volunteers who will be protected adequately.

Corporal Frederick Geo. Coppins, winner of the Victoria Cross, in the Great War, one of the special mounted constables, during the demonstrations this afternoon was pulled from his horse and so badly beaten that he is not expected to recover. Besides two ribs being broken by blows, and serious injuries to the head, he is believed to be suffering from internal injuries. The condition of Sergt. Cappins tonight was said to be critical. He was pulled from his horse and beaten by two strikers said to be Austrians. The trouble started when a few demonstrants booed and jeered at the returned soldier constables. A crowd gathered quickly and suddenly surged into the street. A half dozen mounted officers were attacked. They applied their batons freely. A large squad of special police hurried up and were made targets for stones, bottles, sticks and other missiles. The disturbances continued nearly two hours and approximately twenty persons on either side were bruised and cut. Apparently only Sergt. Coppins was injured seriously, however, The fighting stopped suddenly with the appearance of 200 special constables marching in platoon formation, 

Mayor Gray declared that agitators among the crowds incited the riot.
